Spending time on this site it's easy to get 135-envy mighty quick.

But this article makes me feel even happier about pulling the trigger a week ago on a CPO '10 128i w/sport pkg (27K on the odometer).

As a newbie, I can't post a new thread, so I'll ask a question here to fellow 128ers:

Do you hear a hissing/scraping noise seemingly coming from front right of the car at any speed (5mph +) that disappears when you stop?

It sounds like when my motorcycle's brake pads rub on the rotor when pushing the bike around the garage. Almost a swooshing noise: "shhhhhhhhh"

It doesn't get any louder or quieter with speed - though above 60mph road noise drowns it out.

If it's normal, I'll learn to live with it, but right now it's ALL I can hear. Not sure if somethings rubbing wrong somewhere? If it was door/window seal related it would change volume with speed as wind picks up. But it doesn't.

Any thoughts?
